Diclofenac Sandoz

Diclofenac Sandoz (Diclofenac Sodium) is an oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) prescribed to treat patients suffering from arthritis. The medication prevents the action of chemicals in the body released in response to injuries that cause swelling, pain, and irritation associated with these conditions. This action may also make it useful for treating other similar conditions such as gout, lower back pain, or pain caused by injuries such as sprains or strains. Your physician may also prescribe it to treat other unlisted conditions.

Strictly follow all instructions provided to you by your physician or pharmacist while using Diclofenac Sandoz (Diclofenac Sodium). Optimum and safe dosage can differ based on the patient and the condition being treated. These doses should be swallowed with a large glass of water and can be taken with or without food, but a meal should be eaten before administration if you experience nausea. Do not split, chew, or crush the tablets before use to avoid unintentionally destroying or altering the effects of their contents.

• Headache
